Youth Group Corn Maze Outing

Date

October 20, 2018

Time

2:30 pm – 7:30 pm

The Youth Group will together to go checkout the World’s Largest Corn Maze and Adventure Farm in October. This event will take place on Saturday, October 20. We will plan to meet at Redeemer at 1:00pm and arrive at Richardson Adventure Farm in Spring Grove, Illinois around 2:30pm. There are tons of activities included in the General Admission price, and there’s even a 50’ observation tower and 750’ long zip line (added cost). General Admission will be $20 per student. We will plan to leave Richardson’s Adventure Farm at 6:00pm and return to Redeemer by 7:30pm. Students should RSVP with Tyler, no later than Wednesday, October 10, so that we can make sure we have enough transportation.

Renewing Redeemer Capital Campaign Message

We are so impressed with the generosity and graciousness of our Redeemer members. As we begin the Renewing Redeemer construction, we have received gifts and pledge payments totaling $840,000. This, along with $125,000 in memorial and building funds available from our balance sheet, brings total income to $965,000, which is 69% of our $1,400,000 budget.

If you haven’t pledged or donated to the capital campaign, it’s not too late! The Renewing Redeemer Committee has assured me that there are additional renovations they have identified, which are not covered within the current budget. Any gifts you give will be used to improve the Redeemer facility!

Also, please remember to check with your employer to see if they match donations made to charitable organizations. Your contribution to the Renewing Redeemer renovations is likely covered by this type of program.

As we embark into 2019, we ask you to think about giving your pledge commitment early in the year. While the pledge period extends over 3 years, the building project will happen in less than one year. Right now, we are projecting to have roughly a $50,000 exposure around March 2019, as build-out costs exceed available cash (including the loan from our Endowment Fund, which we approved in May 2018.) By giving early in 2019, we can avoid borrowing money from outside the church and paying the fees associated with it.

Thank you again for your contribution to the Renewing Redeemer renovations. Your support means you are delivering on our motto by “Living Christ’s Call! Imagine the Difference!” We are blessed to have your support!
